Abstract
Advanced course in radiation heat transfer
Objective
Am Ende des Semesters soll der Student in der Lage sein, sich in die Problematik von Energieübertagung durch Wärmestrahlung hineinzuversetzen. Beispiele sind Verbrennungs-, Solarthermie-, Hochtemperatur-Prozesse.
Content
1. Introduction to Thermal Radiation. Definitions. Basic Laws. Properties. Electromagnetic spectrum. Blackbody and non-black surfaces. Absorptivity. Emissivity. Reflectivity. Planck's Law, Wien's Displacement Law, Kirchhoff's Law. 2. Surface Radiation Exchange. Diffuse and specular surfaces. Gray and non-gray surfaces. Configuration Factors. Radiation Exchange. Enclosure Theory. 3.Absorbing, Emitting and Scattering Media. Extinction, Absorption, and Scattering Coefficient. Optical Thickness. Equation of Radiative Transfer. Solution methods: discrete ordinate; zone; Monte-Carlo. 4. Applications. Cavities. Selective surfaces and media. Combined radiation/conduction/convection heat transfer.
